Yep, now I have to wonder...have you?

Bingo! This is my whole point. If you are seriously looking at a CTS then you probably don't need much rear seat room. I get that, same can be said for the C-Class, 3-Series, etc. My point is that the Infiniti M is made to compete in a class where people actually need a reasonable amount of rear seat room. As such, the comparison makes no sense.

Looking at an M56 and saying 'I would rather have a CTS-V' makes about as much sense as looking at a Malibu V6 and saying "I would rather have a Civic'. They aren't direct competitors and they don't do the same thing. The comparison of performance and price makes no sense because the Infiniti is designed to be a larger car, it's going to cost more as is a 5-Series, or an E Class, etc., etc.

So everybody who needs a usable rear seat for adults should just shift to a limo? Yeah, okay.

I mean, comparing the CTS rear legroom to the Camaro rear leg room, there is a hell of a ton of room in the CTS. There's just 2 inches of it more in the Infinity. Big deal.

So, because the CTS has more rear leg room than the Camaro now it's an S Class? And, as for the numbers, while they certainly favor the M they don't tell the whole story. If you have ever been in both (I have) there is no comparison.

And there is nothing wrong with that, there isn't supposed to be a comparison in rear seat room, they are in different size segments.
